The {{nihongo|'''Algorithm March'''|{{wt|ja|アルゴリズム}}{{wt|ja|行進|こうしん}}|Arugorizomu Kōshin}} is a [[Novelty and fad dances|dance fad]] created in [[Japan]], based on the children's television series ''[[PythagoraSwitch]]'' which was broadcast on the educational channel of [[NHK]], a Japanese non-profit public broadcasting service. It is performed by the comedy group [[Itsumo Kokokara]] with variable groups (it differs at each air) such as firefighters, soccer players, Yasugi-bushi preservation society, [[Vienna Boys' Choir]], [[Blue Man Group]], [[ninja]] and so on.<br />
<br />
==Description==<br />
The basic steps are as follows, repeating as necessary:<br />
# Bend knees, reach out straight with hands<br />
# Lean back with arms akimbo ("big shot")<br />
# Turn around, bow<br />
# Face right, right hand horizon sweep<br />
# Bend knees, breaststroke<br />
# Bend down and pretend to pick up a chestnut from the ground<br />
# Shake arms downwards, like pumping a bicycle tire<br />
# Flap arms as though being inflated by a pump<br />
<br />
The dance can be performed in lines, moving [[Canon (music)|canon]] style one at a time. After each movement, the line takes a step forward.<br />
